XDA IIs - compatible bluetooth foldaway keyboard

[ric.curnow]

hello

i am close to purchasing the O2 XDA IIs, but want to be sure that i can purchase with it a compatible foldaway keyboard.
O2 in singapore (i'm in australia) tell me that the keyboards for the O2 XDA II are not compatible with the IIs
they tell me, however, that any 1.1 bluetooth compatible keyboard should work with the O2 XDA IIs
however, they weren't prepared to recommend any such keyboards, and counselled me strongly to test any potential keyboard with the device before purchasing
the sales people here in canberra have recommended an hp Bluetooth Folding Keyboard Manu Part no: FA287A
but they're not prepared to let me test it without buying.

my questions:
1. if you are using a foldaway keyboard (bluetooth or otherwise) successfully with the O2 XDA IIs, what keyboard is that?
2. will the hp Bluetooth Folding Keyboard Manu Part no: FA287A work with the O2 XDA IIs.

i look forward to your advice

thanks
ric

The Bluetooth Keyboard like this Freedom Keyboard (http://www.pdahut.com/store/product.php?productid=16584) requires PDA specific drivers, but the Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard works on HID driver bluetooth setting so this one should work with XDA IIs. I belive the HP keyboard is actually manufacutured by Thinkoutside (stowaway). If this is the case than it should also use the HID interface and should work with your XDA, although I have no experience of this.

I am using ThinkOutside BT Keyboard with XDAIIs, it works properly ... download driver same as for XDAmini (1.570Kb) ..follow the instruction ..and works.

Hi,

I also have a stowaway keyboard with the additional HID-Profil working. But because it is a German keyboard layout I want to use the thinkoutside driver again. But it causes conflicts.
Can somene please tell me how I get rid again of the HID-Profil and maybe the Quality-Audio-Profil if neccessary.

Thank You very much

Never mind!
My XDA performed a hard reset on its own yesterday night! :-(
